1. Patients with full-leg casts, for safety reasons, may be required to travel by stretcher, purchase an extra seat, or fly business or first class.
2. Casts applied within 48 hours should be split lengthwise along each side ( bivalved) to avoid injury from the expansion of air trapped between the skin and the cast if the limb swells.
3. Pneumatic splints should be partially deflated to avoid rupture from expanding gas.
